Strange sounds (solved)

Post by Atlarge » Sun Aug 02, 2020 7:21 pm

My car has been making a weird sound recently when fully warmed and slowly coming off the throttle, like a strange buzzing / vibration. It’s been driving me crazy but today I’m happy to share (in case anyone has the same OCD) I found & fixed it!

Long and short of it was the high vis break light! With the rear tea tray removed I was prodding around and found that the break light made a sound like a ruler over the edge of a desk when bent slightly......

I loosened the top retaining bolts & applied a little double sided tape, retightened and now the noise is gone!
